Annu Kapoor Seeks Police Protection As Hamare Baarah Makers Receive Death Threats: 'First Watch It'

Since the teaser for Kamal Chandra’s film ‘Hamare Baarah’ with Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi was released, it has sparked a lot of discussion. The bold narrative about women’s sufferings shocked many and created a social media buzz. However, the film’s theme has led to controversy and death threats. Annu Kapoor has shared a video on social media asking for police protection.

“The film advocates women empowerment and talks about the rights of women. First watch the film and then give your verdict. People have the freedom to speak their minds on social media but they should not abuse. Don’t abuse or give death threats. We will not be scared by these things,” the actor said in the video, adding, “We made an issue-based film solely to talk about women empowerment. It talks about the issue of growing population and our intention is not to hurt the sentiments of any caste or community.”

The posters released before the teaser have kept audiences eager for more details about the film, and the teaser has significantly increased the buzz. Netizens are praising the teaser on social media for its unique narrative.

‘Hamare Baarah’ is produced by Birender Bhagat, Ravi S. Gupta, Sanjay Nagpal, and Sheo Balak Singh, with Triloki Nath Prasad as co-producer and Kamal Chandra as the director. The story is written by Rajan Agarwal, and Ajendra Ajay serves as the creative director. The film was previously titled Hum Do Hamare Baarah. Later, CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) changed the title. The film, directed by Kamal Chandra, also features Ashwini Kalsekar, Rahul Bagga, Paritosh Tiwari, Manoj Joshi, debutant Aditi Bhatpahri and others in prominent roles.

Annu Kapoor had earlier spoken about the film. He had said in a media interaction, “Working on Humare Baraah has been an incredible journey for me. The film delves into some complex and sensitive topics, and I believe the new title aligns better with our storytelling. I’m excited for audiences to experience the heart and soul of this project on June 7th.”
